Meatless since 28 August 2005

Isn't that great? I've had no meat or poultry since I succumbed that night on 27 August at my father's birthday gathering.

I decided to go meat/poultry less becase I wanted to see if it would make a difference to weight loss. Then I read that Doctor (the green cum one!) advising a woman to cut out animal protein to get relief from fibroids and I said "I never eating animal protein again".

To have fibroids is not a nice thing. If I am invited out, I have to calculate if the event will fall during that 'time of the month', and if it does, on what day of the cycle. Day 2 is definitely out. It's debilitating sometimes.

On the last training project, I had to go on the pill just so I could miss a cycle because I couldn't be leaving the training room every hour or so!

Yes, they say having a kid helps, but there is no guarantee. Just like surgery. So lemme try dietary changes and see how that goes.

I'll let ya know (that is, if you don't think this has been Too Much Information!)

Hi Yamfoot-mercy sakes. What a whole heap o female issues. Good luck. Hope you solve them. Could you possibly need D&C?

We were told in med. school that the lonely (childless) uterus consoles itself by growing fibroids. Actually, most Caribbean women have them. Having no children is a risk factor.

Well I am not to sure about a childless womb consoling it self as my dear mum had three bambinos and still suffers from the painful disorder. I to am in my prime (and worried about fibroids) and not planning on kids for now and like you Yamfoot I partake in a meatless diet, eat lots of fruits, veg (soya products are great for substituting animal protien) along with lots of exercise i.e. skipping to aid in sustaining a naturally healthy lifestly-Keep on Keeping on

Rocky, it is not absolute at all, there are many women who have had them and had kids too.

You know, the more that I read about what's in meat and how poisoned the water is, worse since huricaine Katrina all that seafood is gone, makes me want to eat just beans, veggies & fruit.

Till I start thinking about pesticides.

*sigh*
